What is Missouri HY-PAC?

 The main purpose of this committee is to encourage dental hygienists and other interested persons to inform legislators of current dental hygiene issues. HY-PAC is a voluntary non-profit committee, which supports the goals of the Missouri Dental Hygienists' Association, but operates independently and autonomously. HY-PAC is not affiliated with any one political party but supports individual candidates, and works to persuade other candidates to hear the voice of the dental hygiene profession.

Decision Makers

 Legislation and government regulations are affecting the scope and the future of the practice of dental hygiene. Important decisions are made concerning health care delivery and dental hygiene practice. We must be an active part of that decision-making process.

Voting isn't enough, lobbying isn't enough!!! 

The synergy of hundreds of dental hygienists working together is what it takes for our collective voice to be heard when public officials are debating the future of dental hygiene.
